Pussy Riot member Maria Alyokhina, center left, is escorted to a court
room in a town of Berezniki, some 1500 km (940 miles) north-east of
Moscow, Russia, on Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2013. The court
rejected Pussy Riot member’s appeal to defer her sentence.
Alyokhina was convicted last year along with two other band members of
hooliganism motivated by religious hatred for an anti-President Vladimir
Putin stunt in Russia’s main cathedral. Source: AP.
